Pride Land Boss Battle-Groundshaker
This boss battle took me a week to defeat in Standard Mode. But only took me a
second try in Proud. King Mickey can't come save you in this battle.
Before you begin this battle have Sora equiped with Guardian Soul. And make
sure that he has magic. If not, go to the Stone Hollow and either stand in it
until his magic is refilled or save (I suggest that you save after you have
equiped Sora with Guardian Soul, so that way if he dies, then he'll still have
it equiped; along with everything else).
When they go to the savannah (battlefield), a cutscene will appear. After,
immediately start pressing triangle until all of the reaction commands in the
beginning are over. Then, lock-on to the target and use Wildcat when you've
come face to face to the locked-on target.
After this, try to attack the head. After, use the reaction command to leap
upon Groundshaker's back and attack the monster connected to it. Watch out for
its shocking beams they can really do Sora damage. Once Sora's magic is up
either heal him or preform Wildcat, again. When his life is low try and get
off of the monster's back as fast as his little paws can. Use dash (press
square continuesly) to dash away from the fire and shocking beams. Heal Sora
(only if you need to).
If you keep this up during the entire battle Sora and Simba should be just
fine.
When Groundshaker has half a bar of life left (Sora needs magic!!!), use
potions and/or ethers to heal Simba (and Sora) and give him his magic back if
he needs to and use Wildcat on Grounshaker's back to the double-headed
monster. That should finish it off!!
And there you have it!!! You've successfully have deafeated Groundshaker!!!!!
